[apocalypsos]

Okay, I wasn't going to say what I was going to give myself if I get the 50k for NaNoWriMo done, but I think I probably have to because I can't for the life of me find exactly what I'm looking for. So here's what I'm going to get -- a very small, very simple cartoonish Siamese kitten tattoo right above my hipbone. (Which I've been meaning to get for a while but just haven't had the time to do.)

So, the reason I say this is because I can't find exactly the right picture. Either it's too big or too detailed, both of which would make it waaaaay too expensive. (I'm only willing to go for two hundred bucks or so, considering the holidays and all.) That's why I'm telling you guys ... because I know a lot of you draw really well and I was hoping maybe one or two of you might be able to whip something up for me. And I know that if more than one person draws me a kitten, I can't get them all, but it at least gives me a better selection.

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease? *bats eyelashes at artists on ye olde friends list*

Siamese Kitten?Okay.

*gets to googling for reference*

Neat part? This drawing will also count for my artbytheinch project.

Do you want the kitten doing anything cute? Sleeping in a ball? Batting at the earth?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Just sitting up looking forward or sleeping in a ball would be cool. Anything cute enough to make my mom jealous. ;) (And thanks. *g*)

Sitting? Sleeping? Stretching?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Anything ... doesn't matter, just as long as it's cute.

[miggy.livejournal.com]

I have to run to the salon, so this was a super-quickie.



I have a bigger version that could be used for printing if you like it.

Awww!

Though...wouldn't it have a long angular face if it's Siamese?

Re: Awww!

[miggy.livejournal.com]

I've never seen a cartoon Siamese with a long face. I had these guys in the back of my mind.

What the heck? Why didn't the link come through? *smacks LJ around*

You typo'd it as "a rhef". It's an odd thing, html and links--if you get it mostly right it'll make something that looks exactly like a link, but won't work remotely like a link.

I can't draw, but I can give you a discount on a mom lecture about tattoos. ;)

If I reach 50,000, I'm going to give myself a week of non-production. No writing, no editing, just screwing around on the internet. Ahhhh, laziness is bliss.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

With the Siamese kitten tat, I figure I'll get a lecture from my mom anyway, but I know my mom. The worst part will be jealousy that it's cute and she didn't get one. ;)

[tinylegacies.livejournal.com]

I'm not artistic - but I have a friend who is just starting to do tattoos (he did my ladybugs) and he would probably give you a good deal.

You'd just have to come to Pittsburgh.

[silverhill.livejournal.com]

If you have pictures you like, a good tattoo artist should still be able to do it and alter it to make it smaller/less complex.

[mckenzee.livejournal.com]

Go tribal. I recommend blue eyes.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Ooo, that's cool.

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

Ok, you draw faster than me. That's scary!

[akacat]

That is just all sorts of cool.

[divabat.livejournal.com]

*squeals at icon*

BATTY!

[mckenzee.livejournal.com]

Hee. That's my tat.

[akacat]

My cat tat is on my index page. He was drawn by a very stereotypical tattoo artist with a dismembered Harley in his waiting area. I won't share him exactly (plus he's not Siamese), but you're welcome to have him modified.

[akacat]

Oh, and, you know, d'uh. He's also my default icon currently. *thwacks self*.

Siamese Kitten Tattoo Design at the request of trollprincess who wants a Siamese kitten. Size: 3 x 3

*dies of adorable*

bucky?

[lawofsyllogism.livejournal.com]

I'm assuming your request is to everyone on your friends list, even us weirdos who... well, never comment and don't know you in the slightest.

... Hello!

If you like that design but want to see something slightly different-- bigger paws, different coloring, more detail, less detail, etc-- don't be afraid to ask. It probably won't be a problem, and I'm glad to help.

[jrosestar.livejournal.com]

I want one.

[robling-t.livejournal.com]

(Nothing really to say, just wanted to toss my cat-pic-icon into the discussion to represent the somewhat less conventionally cuddly side of the breed... ;) )

[ampersand.livejournal.com]

Here's a bit of cute.

[secretbutterfly.livejournal.com]

You might ask mortalmetaphor. I think she only designs for friends but I dunno. (My icon is my tat that she deisnged for me)

[laurelin-kit.livejournal.com]

Kitty! Suitably cute, and I'm sure you can figure out the dark bits.

[havenward.livejournal.com]

There is an awful lot of cuteness on this page, so my advice is probably moot anyway, but I know when my friend when to get his tatoo they redrew what he brought them to something that was not only simpler in terms of non-expensive, but also something that was going to last longer in terms of how thick the lines were and what kind of shading and everything like that. So pick the one you want, the one you really want, and maybe a simpler second choice or some such, and see what the artist himself says. The one that my friend went to was happy to use a little creativity, so you never know.

Good luck! And I'm so jealous. I've got one all sketched out with plated symbols, but I've not got the money myself...
